About activities of agents involved in the wholesale of other particular products

NACE code 46.18 covers the activities of agents involved in the wholesale of a wide range of specialized products that do not fall under any other specific NACE category. These agents play a crucial role in facilitating the distribution and trade of diverse goods, connecting manufacturers, suppliers, and buyers across various industries. This industry is an essential component of the broader wholesale and distribution sector, contributing to the efficient movement of goods and the smooth functioning of supply chains.

Production process

Agents operating under NACE code 46.18 typically do not engage in physical production processes. Instead, they act as intermediaries, leveraging their expertise, networks, and market knowledge to broker deals and facilitate transactions between buyers and sellers. These agents may use a range of techniques, such as market research, price negotiation, contract management, and logistics coordination, to ensure the successful completion of wholesale transactions.

Production inputs

The primary inputs required for the activities covered under NACE code 46.18 are the specialized products that agents represent. These can include a wide variety of goods, such as 46.49 Wholesale of other household goods, 46.69 Wholesale of other machinery and equipment, or 46.76 Wholesale of other intermediate products. Agents also rely on access to extensive networks of buyers and sellers, as well as strong communication and negotiation skills to facilitate transactions effectively.

Production outputs

The main output of the industry covered by NACE code 46.18 is the successful completion of wholesale transactions, where agents connect buyers and sellers and enable the distribution of specialized products. The outputs of this industry can serve as inputs for a diverse range of other economic activities, such as 47.11 Retail sale in non-specialized stores with food, beverages or tobacco predominating, 33.12 Repair of machinery, or 25.11 Manufacture of metal structures and parts of structures.
